^yep, London's also doing something major - currently in plans to build the 'Mega Mosque' for 40,000, and capacity up to 70,000 with surrounding buildings during religious festivals. Its right next to the Olympic site, and the new CBD at Stratford. Its controversial of course, not just the fact it will supplant all the major cathedrals as the religious centre of the city, but mostly due to the increased volume of traffic/ people etc in the area (many of the areas residents, many of whom are Muslim, are against it due to this).

Of course a mega-cathedral is also in the plans for the mostly Anglican African community, so this too may be supplanted in turn.

In Spain there have been problems in building large mosques. The reason is always the same: Muslims in Spain are mostly people from Morocco and Algeria for training low (they often work in greenhouse collecting tomato crops, lettuce or flowers) and many are marginal (dedicated to crime).

The Spanish when the City Council tells them in his district wants to build a mosque, they do not want it because they know that then the district could become a Muslim ghetto.

It's a eternal problem.
